Class CIM_StorageProtectionService
extends CIM_Service

This service defines the Protect method used to apply and modify the protection setting for a specified StorageVolume or LogicalDisk. The settings applied are used to protect a storage element from accidental or intentional overwriting. Accordingly, the settings set the read/write ability of the element, SCSI inquiry visibility, whether it can be copied over, and whether it can be exposed from the storage system. This service also allows the specification of a retention time, or length of time that these settings cannot be modified. The settings remain in effect after this time period expires until changed. The values of this setting are stored in the StorageProtectionSetting class associated to the StorageVolume pr LogicalDisk via ElementProtectionSettingData. The StorageProtectionSetting cannot be modified directly, but can only be modified via this service. While the element is being protected, the StorageProtectionSetting cannot be removed.

Protect (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (Protect)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringThe method creates or modifies the StorageProtectionSetting associated to the StorageVolume or LogicalDisk. This method is called to protect the StorageVolume or LogicalDisk against modification for a specific period of time. Values specified for this method will be set as properties of the StorageProtectionSetting instance that is associated to the specified StorageVolume or LogicalDisk. This method can be used to extend the retention period, but not decrease it.
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..4095, 4096, 4097..32767, 32768..65535
